Delete Pages Startup Document?

Every time I start Pages, a non-blank document opens, even before the template chooser appears. The document is an old document that I deleted from my documents folder, yet Pages opens it as "Untitled.pages." I have searched high and low for an answer, yet can't seem to find where this "untitled.pages" document is residing.
How can I prevent Pages from opening this document EVERY TIME I start Pages? I have checked the "Preferences" section, yet find no reference to Pages behavior on startup.

Pages (menu) > Prferences > General:
Click the first option (Show Template Chooser) OR
Check the second (Use tmplate) then click choose and choose the template you want to open when you start up.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

Is it possible to delete page(s) from a pdf document?

37 page pdf document; I would like to take out some of the pages. Using createpdf.

Hi Kromowidjojo,
With CreatePDF you would not be able to delete pages. CreatePDF is only a convertion application which is use to convert different formats to PDF and vice versa.
You have to purchase the complete PDF solution(Adobe Acrobat) to achieve this task. Please visit the below mentioned link for more information:

How do I add and delete pages to a pdf document?

How do I add and delete pages to a pdf document?

Hi Paul,
Adobe Acrobat has the features to add/delete/extract/crop/insert pages to your PDF files and are much more features.
Adobe Reader has a very limited features for editing to PDF files.
Now you can subscribe to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
Or you can download Acrobat XI Pro for trial version from www.adobe.com.
thank you.

Split document or delete pages

Hello!
I would like to split some (thousend) pdfs at page 5. Finally I would like to have 2 pdf-documents:
1) page 1-4 and
2) page 5- last page (variable).
If its not possible with a function like "splitting".. maybe it is possible to delete pages 5 - last page - because its variable?!
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Thanks for your answer!
I have tried it with an action.. here I can delete pages.. to delete the pages 1-4 is easy.. but when I would like to delete all pages after page 5 it comes an error.. because I dont know which the last page is.. it's variable. I also tried to tell the action "delete from page 5 till 2000" because I know that no document has so much pages.. but it didnt worked.
I dont know the stuff with java..
(Sorry.. I have the Creative Suite Standard CS 5.5)

Deleting pages from an old catalog document

I am editing an old indesign catalog file. I think everything is linked together. I'm trying to get rid of old images and content. Whats the easiest way to do that without messing the entire document up? I already tried deleting pages, and it seems like it messes up the doc. I need help!

If the text is threaded through the document, you can use a script that comes with InDesign to break it up into text boxes. It's call splitstory
It will break out your text into its individual frames so that when you delete a page, its text doesn't flow onto another page.
A few notes from the script
-To use the script, select a text frame, then run the script.
--Note: Any overset text at the end of the story will be deleted.
--Note: Hyphenation points between text frames will not be retained.

If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover the deleted document using Time Machine. Otherwise, without a backup souce there is no way to recover it.

Is there a way to delete pages that were captured on a document?

I have created templates on the page layout, but I want to understand how to remove them. Sorry if this is a basic question: I'm using Pages for only 2 days...
Please understand that I don't want to delete pages that were created inside the document. I would like that templates to disappear from the Pages menu on the toolbar.

Thank you, I just found out...

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

My options and tools have changed. Unable to extract and delete pages in my PDF document.

My options and tools have changed. Unable to extract and delete pages in my PDF document. How can I get them back?

Well could it be another Adobe I had before? I bought software and in that under tools on the far right had all kinds of options. Also under view and window. Then I bought another adobe product to try and convert a PDF into a word doc and now under tools that is all it wants to do and my view and window options have changed. Not to mention the new software i bought isn't converting it just spins. So I am bummed that neither is working for me. It is more important for me to be able to extract pages then it is to convert. Which adobe product allows this? Maybe I can unistall and reinstall the Adobe software I spent 300 dollars on vs the 19.99 product.

Can I restore deleted Pages document

Can I restore a deleted Pages document?

Hello kmayh,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice about restoring from a previous backup. Restoring from a previous backup may restore the files that have been deleted, but keep in mind that you will lose all "new" data on the device when you restore it:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I believe that you can download a demo of Data Rescue 4, and the demo will give you an idea of what it can recover. If it looks promising, you then can buy the software.
